See what happens when mass action is diverted back into the Democratic Party (via recall effort etc.)? It lost all momentum. This is what happens time and time again. A mass movement emerges, and then sell-outs/hacks within the movement exert their influence to divert the movement back into the system, and thereby defuse and deflect it. Instead of getting caught up in party games with the recall effort, they should have went all out for a general strike. That would have continued to raise consciousness and build the movement. And that’s the point.
